title: Synthesis of biindolyls via palladium-catalyzed reactions.
abstract: An unprecedented synthesis of a range of high value homo- and heterobiindolyls is presented. The one-pot Miyaura borylation and subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura coupling sequence allows for the construction of the highly sterically congested C-C bond between two bromoindoles in modest to good overall yields.
